Hi,
I have absolutely strange glitch on 10.1 (stock kernel from DVD, GeForce 5500) with nVidia driver 8762. Compilation and installation of nVidia kernel module went without any problem, commands like modprobe, switch2nviadia and glxinfo run successfully, but sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia (and x.org) cannot switch to any other resolution but 800x600/60 Hz. No matter what I have tried (recompile nVidia driver, restart PC, editing xorg.conf manually, etc).
I had a similar problem with the combination of 10.1 stock kernel and 8762 driver (see my post from a couple days ago). In my case 10.1 + 8762 was unable to come up with the 1600x1200 resolution for my monitor. Going back to the older driver, 8756, solved the problem for me. I also posted this problem on the nvidia linux forum where the nvidia people are currently taking a look at it.
nVidia dummy driver can run on any other resolution which monitor supports, as well as 10.0 and the same nVidia 8762 driver.
So, the problem could actually be in the 10.1 kernel rather than in the driver? Well, I suppose not impossible. HTH.
